I believe there were some radios which used the F bit of an EFM11 in preference to other pentodes as some characteristic or other was better and didn't bother with the M bit. As someone with a load of radios that use EFM11s I wouldn't have anything against a few new ones being made.

Regardless of that, I have often wondered what the "correct" audio is. Nowadays everything is recorded multi-tracked then mixed, equalized, compressed etc. so there is probably nothing available which sounds like what the musicians originally played. So why do you need clever cables etc. when the audio is so messed up anyway?
